WWALS Watershed Coalition advocates for conservation and stewardship of the Withlacoochee, Willacoochee, Alapaha, Little, and Suwannee River watersheds in south Georgia and north Florida through education, awareness, environmental monitoring, and citizen activities.

Become Involved!

WWALS Watershed Coalition, Inc. (WWALS) is the WATERKEEPER® Alliance Member with the name
Suwannee RIVERKEEPER®.
When you become a member, you get a bumper sticker that looks exactly like the Suwannee Riverkeeper logo:

Your membership will help WWALS encourage citizens to become more active in watershed conservation, benefiting our local economy, ecology, and community, including boating, fishing, and hunting. If you like, you can also donate more in time or in money to help us all with boatable, fishable, swimmable rivers and clean drinking water.

In order to reach these goals your generous contribution will be used for the purchase of equipment, volunteer supplies, and legal fees, as well as assisting in presentations, reports and conferences to the community and training workshops for volunteers.

We are raising funds for test kits for our water quality testing program, for water trail signs, to hire an executive director, and we have legal fees right now related to some of these goals.

WWALS offers a variety of levels suitable for all potential members.

*Student scholarships and other memberships may be provided at the discretion of the WWALS Watershed Coalition Board.
